Reittivät

Reittivät is a Finnish verb form that means “they routed” or “they laid out routes.” It is the third-person plural imperfect form of a verb derived from the noun reitti (route). The verb is used to describe actions where routes, paths, or transit plans are determined or assigned, typically in technical, logistical, or planning contexts.

Etymology and form: The word comes from reitti, meaning route, with a Finnish verb-forming suffix that creates a transitive action verb. Reittittää or reitittää are related infinitive forms that express the act of routing or planning routes, and reittivät represents the past tense for multiple agents.

Usage: Reittivät appears mainly in administrative, transportation, logistics, or networking writings. It conveys that a group or authority determined or redistributed routes—for example, bus routes, delivery paths, or data routes. In everyday Finnish, speakers often use alternatives such as suunnittelivat reitit (“they planned the routes”) or määrittivät reitit (“they determined the routes”) instead of the more technical reittivät.

Grammatical note: As a finite verb form, reittivät indicates past tense with a plural subject. It follows standard Finnish conjugation patterns for active voice and is negated with the usual negative forms and auxiliary verbs used in Finnish.

Related terms: reititys (routing or route planning), reitittäminen (the process of routing), and reitti (route). These terms are commonly used in logistics, transport planning, and information networks.
